You do what you want to. So will I. The cop can't really know in advance that you ain't scum and don't do scummy things.

Even if they searched your car and found nothing... well.. that is annoying and bothering but I would like to think that someday this search will help stop a real criminal.

I was "harassed" by cops several times - and guess what? Nothing bad happenned!

I was asked to show what I have in my pockets once for no real reason and once we were threatened to leave a friends appartment. But besides the little annoyance - nothing bad really happenned.

I'm willing to go through a random hassle of a search on my property, if that helps stop real thieves.

Heck, I'd love for a cop in Israel to stop more often and randomly check a person's body or just chat with him.

That would undboutedly increase public safety since more crooks will be stopped or deterred.


Obviously going after a profile of a guy with long hair, and making someone unpack his entire car, and then laugh at him, is actually a harassment and should be complained about.

I think this could be stopped if cops are also responsible to put things back the way they were after a search
